I used the Filled With Sweetness stamps and dies from Stampin' Up and also the matching paper for the jar lid and to fussy cut the three strawberries.  The background paper was from the Storybook Friends set.

Finally my sentiment is from a Jane's Doodles stamp set.

I was inspired by the leaves and the colours in the photo as well as the autumnal feel to the photo.

Here's another view of my card:

To make my card I used an open leaf stencil from Funky Fossil and applied Stampin Up Crumb Cake ink through it.  Keeping the stencil in place I used a Stampin' Up autumn stencil with Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door and Stampin' Up inks in Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow.

I used a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up and then matted the stencilled panel on to dark brown paper.
